"Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming
language.

A flaw was found in the Python urllib and urllib2 libraries where they
would not differentiate between different target URLs when handling
automatic redirects. This caused Python applications using these
modules to follow any new URL that they understood, including the
'file://' URL type. This could allow a remote server to force a local
Python application to read a local file instead of the remote one,
possibly exposing local files that were not meant to be exposed.
(CVE-2011-1521)

A race condition was found in the way the Python smtpd module handled
new connections. A remote user could use this flaw to cause a Python
script using the smtpd module to terminate. (CVE-2010-3493)

An information disclosure flaw was found in the way the Python
CGIHTTPServer module processed certain HTTP GET requests. A remote
attacker could use a specially crafted request to obtain the CGI
script's source code. (CVE-2011-1015)

This erratum also upgrades Python to upstream version 2.6.6, and
includes a number of bug fixes and enhancements. Documentation for
these bug fixes and enhancements is available from the Technical Notes
document, linked to in the References section.

All users of Python are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which correct these issues, and fix the bugs and add the enhancements
noted in the Technical Notes."
